New Laws for Ireland Working Har-
mony and Peace.
New York, March JWThe official an
nouncement that the king and queen
will visit Ireland in July or August,
does not come aa a surprise, says the
Trlbune'Js London correspondent. It
is well known that the king ever since
he ascended the throne had set his
heart on an Irish tour. In Ireland It
is believed that the king Is responsible
for the extraordinary change that has
taken place In tho Irish policy of the
I'.rltlsh government since the beginning
of the year. The coercion regime Is a
thing of the at and a peasant propr
ietory a thing of the future. Mr.
Wyndhnm's land bill has had an excel
lent effect in destroying the germs or
disaffection and It consequently is cer
tain that ;he announcement of the roy
al visit will give the greatest satisfac
tion to the Irish people.

Young Corbett Pub It AH Over
Terrible Terry In a Cy
clone Battle.
HAD HIM DOWN IN THE FIRST
Decision Gave Satisfaction As It
Was Apparent McGovern
Was Badly Beaten.
San Francisco, March SI. William
Rothwetl, better known as ''Young
Corbett," of Denver, tonight defeated
Terry McGovern in the eleventh round
after a fight in which there was not a
second nt idleness for either man. In
nearly every round Corbett'a lighting
like a machine had a shade the better
of the argument, and when he finally
gi-t Brooklyn Terry Into a corner ha
punished him so hard that the latter
ejnk to the Boor defeated.
Corbett put McGovern down In the
firse round for the count of seven and
repeated it in the second.
There was some question as to wheth
er or not Terry was down at the count
of 10, and for a few minutes It looked
as If there would be a fierce fight on
the mattter. -Terry tried to get up"
and was on his feet an Instant after
the time keeper had counted him out.
The time keeper who counted Terry -out
stated after the fight that the blows
which knocked Terry out were left and
right awfngs on the. jaw and a right
upper cur on the chin. H said that .
Terry was In a daaed condition, and
that when he had counted nine he mo
tioned to htm to gvr up. but Terry
was too Confused to notice and waa .
unable to do so, that he was complete
ly out and' that it was mercy to hiiq
that he was unable to get up.
Corbett was strong and ready and
had Terry risen to his feet he prob
ably would have been seriously hurt.
Referee Oraney's decision seemed to
meet with the approval of most of the
spectators, as the Brooklyn man was
apparently thoroughly beaten. .
